Consorzio president Stefano Zanette says: "We started with a production that didn’t reach 142 million bottles and, a decade and a tripled number of bottles later, according to our projections, we should close the year of 2019 with 485 million units. A leap of + 242% which well summarises our commitment to quality and promotion, hand in hand with that for the protection of the prosecco name.

“An intense road full of results that today evolves into a worldwide success, in prestigious cultural and sports collaboration and, above all, in the creation of many jobs and a fundamental contribution to the Italian trade balance, given that 75% of our bottles are exported for a value of 1.8 billion euros,” said Zanette.
